al503 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 My Birthday is coming up and my g/f asked what I wanted. I told her that I really didn't need anything. She says 'I wish I could buy you another gun but I don't think I could afford it. Those things cost like $1200 bucks, don't they? I just said "yeah. I don't want you to spend that much money on me."

Bruce Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Trust me, they wise up quickly. It has something to do with the taste of wedding cake, or so some say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightkrawler00 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 When I brought home a used Glock 17 last year, my wife was a little upset, until I told her that it was $350. "Oh, I thought it was going to be $1000 or more, like the last one, thats okay." So for now on, all my guns are going to cost about $350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can reload for about 2 cents a round. And match fees are free cause I help. No, this is a friend's gun. See, I almost shoot for nothing.

standles Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 (edited) She also tells me that I work hard for my $ so I should be able to get what I want. She'll be like this after we get married. Won't she? Ohh boy she must have a PHD from the soon-to-be-wives club. (PHD=Piled Higher Deeper). Sure it is all that now. Little known there is a secret additive to wedding cake that nullifies all those feelings. The low frequency sub carrier tunes in and they all march as one. Occasionally there is one where the immune system rejects the drug but they are quickly found out hunted down and ostracized for being abnormal. Funny thing. The antenna for the carrier wave seems to be the wedding ring itself. Because when it come sof after divorce there is a short term reversal of things until the next ring goes on. LOL! Mine got mad because I was working 12 hour shifts and pulling in beaucoup overtime for a year. I gave her all the regular check and half the overtime. I kept half for hobbies and such. She was free to spend the other as she wanted. She was still mad and did not understand why I kept 1/2 the over time out. She also got mad when I sold the car (an 8 year old heap) and bought her a brand new car for her birthday. Still don't understand that one. Of course I returned the new car and bought her old one back (at a 200.00 loss) and she was still mad. Later, Steven PS. Wise man once said: No matter how beautiful, wise, caring, or perfect she may be... There is a man somewhere that is tired of her ****. And just for your information.. NO I am not bitter about my Ex.

I could do that or I could want to live also. j/k I just hope that she won't ever see the the open gun and the back-up I have coming, out on the bench at the same time. All kidding aside, your advice is sound. I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Boudrie Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Shortly after getting married, my wife informed me that no individual gun could cost more than her ring since it had to be the most expensive non-car product in the house. I can buy as many as I want, as long as I keep each one under that limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Shortly after getting married, my wife informed me that no individual gun could cost more than her ring since it had to be the most expensive non-car product in the house. I can buy as many as I want, as long as I keep each one under that limit. Damn Rob, I could easily live with those rules. Heck, she only has one ring right? I guess the only pre-requisite is that you would like to have know that BEFORE you picked out the ring since you would be setting the ceiling for some years to come. Of course, I'm sure she would let you "upgrade" the ring at any point in the future as new gun prices continue to rise... -Cuz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can purchase "parts" and then when the gun is assembled it might be more than the ring. According to BATF rules the frame is considered the gun right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can get away with a $5K ring (since I can get pretty much any open gun for under that?) She'll be happy with a much smaller diamond, I guess. I'll tell her about your influence on my decision after we get hitched. There's probably many Rob Boudrie's in Mass so it'll probably take a while for her to hunt you down.

I made a mistake (maybe) when I showed her a picture of the Ladies Gold Sporting, Golden Clays. She got that for "nice" days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the $5K ring you won't be able to get a Perazzi. Then again, with the $13K ring you won't be able to get one of the higher-end Perazzis.

They work and they're beauties. How about $16K? The setting is another $3K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistolPete Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 When I bought my SV a few years ago I told my wife it only cost $1000. Then a few months later we were at a gunshow and SV was there. Funny, she says "why are those guns $2700 and yours was only $1000?" Needless to say I got busted. Luckily she knows about the $4000 for the Brazos gun. However, I also have a JP rifle being built that she doesn't know about. OOPS.... It'll be ready in a week or so. I'll have to tell her it only cost $1200 or so. I'm also buying a Benelli this weekend. Looks like I'm going to get my ass kicked... Luckily I have some leverage cause she just bought a new car..

bayoupirate Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 My wife once told me that if I brought home another gun, she would shoot me with it. Thank goodness my friend Joe heard her and let me keep it over at his house for a couple of months. I wish that was just a joke. It really happened.
